I've been looking for a project

I've been looking for a project. I've been mostly looking at 4x4 old truck stuff.  The other day a friend of mine asked me to help him move a 1984 veet that he just bought for $500.  When we got there he mentioned there was a 240z there that the guy was also selling.  I looked at the z took a few pictures and today the car is sitting in my garage.  I had no idea my next project car was going to be a z car. I've always loved these cars. I was born in 1960, so the 1970 is just about the time I was starting to see and feel things.  This car was one of my first loves. I've never drove one. This will be the first z I've ever driven.  The man that owned it before me loved it. He drove it for years and then bought the 1984 vet and quit driving the z.  It's been sitting covered for 15 years in his garage.  He passed away and his son wanted the car gone.  No problem.  THe son also turned out to be somebody that recognized me from years ago. Our paths have passed in the past. 

I got in touch with Carl Beck. I knew very little about the car with the exception of how I fell in love with the car years ago.  Carl provided me with enough information for me to make the decision to invest the $3500 in the car the seller was asking.

The rear brakes are locked up. It will roll, but not very easily.  I'm going to get some atf and spray in their to see if the will release. I'm also going to spray the atf in the cylinders and let it set for a few days.
